Honestly, trying to say that a simple Alice/Bob entanglement setup cannot be described by Bohmian Mechanics kinda makes my point. But I...

I would generally say that making nonlocality explicit is a good thing, in the limited sense that it tries to explain correlations...

The only thing I am thinking when we discuss "configuration space" is that it is not the traditional 4D spacetime. I am willing to...

Good, I'm here to lose misconceptions! :smile: Yes, I am willing to accept that BM is contextual. You and I have discussed this...

A has been measured, and so (as you say) there is no pilot wave affecting it (since it's gone). OK, good. Not sure I understand why QFT...

Thanks. :smile: From the perspective of my questions: I am not primarily concerned about the underlying connection between position and...

Once the A has been destroyed, for which you need QFT, there is no longer pilot wave connecting A and B. But note that "configuration...

No they don't. Once you get rid of this misconception, perhaps your other confusions will go away too. Just because the results of...

To describe the situation in which A no longer exists you need particle destruction, and for that you need QFT. Thus the usual Bohmian...

For details about spin in Bohmian mechanics I recommend https://arxiv.org/abs/1305.1280 For a relativistic version of Bohmian mechanics...

Well orthodox QM features something usually called "Quantum Nonlocality". It makes no attempt to explain the mechanism whereby...

Yes, that is exactly as I understand. Demystifier has helpfully joined the conversation to help us on some of these points.

The Spin observable being a function of position in BM, yes that's essentially the assertion. And yet: I can move B anywhere I like...

That value cannot change once A is measured. So the nonlocal pilot wave/guiding wave/quantum potential wave is no longer dynamic. "In...

That description would be incompatible with A having a measured polarization, which causes B to take on a static value. The pilot wave...
